Professor Axel Honneth receives 2025 GSAS Faculty Mentoring Award

The faculty mentoring award is presented annually to two faculty of Columbia University to recognize excellence in mentoring PhD and MA students during their graduate careers. We congratulate Professor Honneth on receiving this award and for all his work in advising our students. Honneth, whose words were read by Professor Christopher Peacocke, wrote of mentorship, “What is needed is not a specific kind of theoretical knowledge or expertise, but a mixture of empathy, good will, and an abundance of patience.” For more information, please see this page.
